First, Pokémon can only Mega Evolve when they are holding a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are a type of item like Evolutionary Stones and include specific items such as the Blazikenite that the event Torchic holds. The Blazikenite is not found within normal gameplay. It also confirms that Mega Evolutions are temporary, being only in battle.

Not all Pokémon will have Mega Evolutions. The Master Tower has a connection to Mega Evolutions

MegaMawile is Steel/Fairy-type, as is normal Mawile now. MegaMawile has the ability Huge Power.
MegaBlaziken has Speed Boost.
MegaLucario has Adaptability.
MegaAbsol has the ability Magic Bounce.
MegaMewtwo has the ability Insomnia
MegaAmpharos is Electric/Dragon and has the ability Mold Breaker

This is just my theory, but I these "mega" evolutions are only capable if you already have a mega stone and are levelling up your riolu or combuskin, I don't think or know if they will be an extra evolution or whatever, I just think they're a form IF you have this mega stone. Either that or, they could do something like "if you're pokemon gets to lv 100, he digivolves into a mega form" idk.

OPG: Original Pokemon Gangsta

Hmu come time Pokemon X and Y come out, I could use a few new rivals to sh-t on lol.

Mega Blaziken is probably the coolest thing I'm seeing from this reveal. If there happens to be a Mega Rayquaza, Gamefreak can go ahead and take all my money. Still, Dragon type Ampharos...that's unbelievably awesome. And Mewtwo with Insomnia? Looks like Darkrai has another thing to worry about.

HOLY POKEBALLS. Also, Mewtwo has Insomnia so Darkrai is not happy lol. But DANG Blaziken and Lucario are my new favorite looking pokes, just look at that epicness! And dang dragon-elec for Amphy? Heck to the yes!

I really hope that there is a mega Luvdisc just to troll people. Actually, a mega Dunsparce would look pretty sweet too.

even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.

^ This is the reason why I like arguing. If I come off as standoffish or overly angry in an argument, don't worry. I'm probably having the time of my life. Whether I agree with them or not, the pokemon fandom has a lot of different opinions, and I love how nobody is afraid to share them.

First thing to come to mind when hearing about this was Digimon honestly.

Anyway, it sounds interesting, I wonder how many Pokemon this is actually going to be available for? Maybe extra downloadable content for the future after X & Y is released? You just know people are going to be clamoring to get Mega evolution for their favorite Pokemon, maybe it could even be some form of DLC? Granted that isn't a normal thing for the Pokemon games but it seems (slightly) plausible. I could be wrong of course, this could be something that's only available to a few Pokemon and that never changes or it could even be available to all Pokemon right out of the box, but considering how many Pokemon there are that seems doubtful to me.
